Learner Reviews & Feedback for Introduction to Classical Music by Yale University

Great course! I wish I had taken it 50 years ago!

It was really fun until the last two weeks.

Very good. I want some more

Fantastic Course

Amazing teaching

有趣的讲解古典音乐的课。

Fantasic!

nice

cool

ok

The content is interesting but the videos are quite long. Also, in the audit version all quizzes are blocked.

Not exactly, what I've expected, but one could learn a few new things. It is informative.

Good lecturer, nice focus on the subject... it awakes your sensibility for Music.

He is awesome in reaching every aspect of Classical music.

This course is far more technical than what I was led to believe from the description. You don't even hear a piece of music until the fourth week, the first three being taken up with explaining octaves, notes, etc.. I was not looking to read music only listen to it.

The fourth week turned into something of a travelogue, showing pictures of places, discussing histories of cities. It was also at this point that I noticed a number of spelling and grammatical mistakes in the transcripts under the videos.

Dr. Wright appears to be an extremely intelligence, learned man. However, his speaking style did not draw me in at all. I took to reading the transcripts to do the quizzes rather than listening to him speak (and so noticed the errors).

I am unenrolling after four weeks.

Over 70 quizzes! Not hard but tedious beyond belief. Pick your best questions, condense down to five or six tests, and this course is a four or five. Looks like the prof is unorganized and doesn't do know what is key to learning in his own course with this scatter approach to quizzes.

The course looks a lot like advertisement of a textbook. I don't have anything against ads, but ads are not very suitable for teaching.

What I've watched wasn't as what I expected.

I would give it 2 out of 5 as addressing my needs.

Class was boring and the professor wasn't inspired nor inspiring.
